Yep - go read Matt's fine article about the VM system: http://www.daemonnews.org/200001/freebsd_vm.html He and others have made comments (at least I believe Matt has) at /. in some of the BSD/Slashdot flamewars that have erupted. In addition to this, I still think the ports/package system beats rpms any day. Linux has problems w/ LOTS of memory as I recall (and I mean a LOT) and they certainly have problems w/ big files/filesystems. Their NSF isn't up to par either as I recall.
